iQOO 15R India Price and Processor Teased Ahead of February 24 Launch
The iQOO 15R is officially set to launch in India in the fourth week of February, with the debut confirmed for February 24. The announcement was made by Vivo’s sub-brand iQOO, alongside the launch of a dedicated microsite on an e-commerce platform, confirming key details such as chipset and availability ahead of the unveiling.
According to the microsite, the iQOO 15R will be powered by Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 processor, built on an advanced 3nm process. iQOO claims the device has crossed an impressive 3.5 million points on AnTuTu, positioning it among the top-performing smartphones in its segment. The company also highlights a 36 percent improvement in CPU performance and a 46 percent boost in NPU performance, pointing to notable gains in both speed and AI processing.
iQOO has further hinted at the handset’s price range, stating that the iQOO 15R will be the fastest smartphone under Rs. 55,000. This places it in direct competition with the OnePlus 15R, which launched in India with prices starting at Rs. 47,999 for the 12GB + 256GB variant and Rs. 52,999 for the 12GB + 512GB model. The comparison suggests that iQOO may adopt a similarly aggressive pricing strategy.
In terms of design and availability, the iQOO 15R is expected to go on sale in India via Amazon shortly after launch. It will feature a dual rear camera setup housed within a square-shaped camera module, while the power button and volume rockers are positioned on the right edge. The smartphone is confirmed to arrive in at least Black and Blue colour options, catering to both classic and modern tastes.
